Abstract

Google lives on data. Search, Ads, YouTube, Maps -they all live on data. I’ll tell some stories about how Google uses data and statistics, how Google is always experimenting to make improve- ments (yes, this includes your searches), and how Google adapts statistical ideas to do things that have never been done before.
